Amazon GuardDuty is Now SOC Compliant

[Amazon GuardDuty](/guardduty/) is now a [Service Organization Control (SOC) compliant service](/compliance/services-in-scope/). This compliance certification applies to all [AWS Regions](/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where Amazon GuardDuty is available. Amazon GuardDuty is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS resources for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help you protect your AWS accounts and workloads. Amazon GuardDuty is now SOC 1, 2, and 3 compliant, allowing you to get deep insight into the security processes and controls that protect customer data. AWS SOC (System and Organization Controls) reports are independent third-party examination reports that demonstrate how AWS achieves key compliance controls and objectives. These reports are often leveraged by diverse industries, such as technology, healthcare, banking and financial services, and used for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) efforts. In addition to meeting standards for SOC, Amazon GuardDuty is in scope for PCI-DSS and ISO (9001, 27001, 27017, and 27018) compliance, and HIPAA eligibility. You can go to the [Services in Scope by Compliance Program](/compliance/services-in-scope/) page to see a full list.
